2011 YU75 is a mid-sized asteroid with an orbit between Jupiter and Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2011 YU75 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2011 YU75 orbits the sun every 7,530 days (20.62 years), coming as close as 1.77 AU and reaching as far as 13.27 AU from the sun. Its orbit is highly elliptical. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2011 YU75 is probably between 1.058 to 2.366 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. Pentagon.
2011 YU75's orbit is 0.84 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is a very wide berth between this asteroid and Earth at all times.
Orbital simulations conducted by NASA JPL's CNEOS do not show any close approaches to Earth.
2011 YU75's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 26, 2011. It was last officially observed on April 25, 2012. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 56 observations used to determine its orbit.
